Examiner Sehwan Kim has allowed 95 of 154 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Sehwan Kim has a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 154 disposed applications, 95 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 62%. The allowance rate varies across the three art units, ranging from 46% to 66%. This pooled figure reflects decisions made across different subject areas within TC 2100 and does not represent a prediction for any individual application.
This record pools data across multiple art units, each with different subject matter within TC 2100. The overall 62% allowance rate is an aggregate statistic reflecting past dispositions across all three units. Aggregate figures describe the examiner's historical record and are not predictions about any specific application or art unit. Individual art-unit records may differ from the pooled rate.
These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 103 decided applications with an interview and 15 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 35 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sehwan Kim has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 208 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
